My goal is to have the DIV code below inserted on my home page on the following days and times... Is the code correct? What do I need to add to the session go for it string so that I can include the DIV? Is my goal even logical?

 

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

 

 

Schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday, from 9:30PM EST - 12:00AM EST

 

<?php
session_start();

//check to see if the date and time is Thursday between 7pm and 9pm
if (date('H:i') >= 21:30 && date('H:i') <= 24:00 && date('l') == 'Tuesday,Thursday,Saturday,Sunday') {
$_SESSION['goforit'] = 'yes';

//or you can comment the above and put the chat functions here
}

else {
$_SESSION['goforit'] = 'no';
}

if ($_SESSION['goforit'] == 'yes') {} ?>

 

 

<div id ="live_banner"><a href="http://www.big3news.net/live.htm" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','1007','663','no');return false"><img src="http://www.big3news.net/images/livebanner_3.gif"></a></div>

Well, I think I need to throw out the initial code I was using. 

 

All I want is for an image that says "Big 3 News is Live" to show up on pre-set dates and times, to save myself the trouble of having to go in and modify the source code every time the show goes live.  I have tried the code below and for all intents & purposes it SHOULD work, but it isn't.  I am using WordPress 2.9.

 

<?php
$h = date('G'); //set variable $h to the hour of the day
$d = date('w'); //set variable $d to the day of the week.
//G is the date key for hours in 24 format (not 12), with no leading 0s, like 02.
//W is the day of the week, Mon starts the week, 1. 

if ($d == 2 && $h >= 21 && $h < 24) $img = 'http://www.big3news.net/images/livebanner_a.gif';
else if ($d == 4 && $h >= 21 && $h < 14) $img = 'http://www.big3news.net/images/livebanner_a.gif';
else if ($d == 6 && $h >= 21 && $h < 14) $img = 'http://www.big3news.net/images/livebanner_a.gif';
else if ($d == 7 && $h >= 21 && $h < 14) $img = 'http://www.big3news.net/images/livebanner_a.gif';
else $img = 'http://www.big3news.net/images/pixel.png';

?>

<div id="live_banner">
<img src="<?php echo $img; ?>">
</div>
